    looks good. More plants that provide cover would be nice but not necessary.

    Your Viv looks huge I'm sure your BP would appreciate some more things to hide in and around. You have a lot of open space in there.

    How do you keep your humidity level up? Seems like that would be quite a challange.

    lol I used to spray inside the viv and now I use a fogger on a low setting, plus its on a timmer to give wee shots, im still working on getting the timming right for the amount sprayed. The Viv is 1.5ft height, 1.7ft width and 4ft lenght.

    She loves it, never shows any kind of disstress or anything, and when she is fully out she is nearly the same lenght as the viv. ( -1or2 inches )

    So reckon more plants? Coz im trying to decor her floor like if it where a forest and had seen a 3d bcakground which would look super cool for looks and for her too.

    I use the coconut liners for hanging plants with my larger corns. Just cut a hole in one side. It looks more natural, it's cheap, and when it gets dirty, just pitch it and buy another one. They come big enough for balls though I generally end up stocking up in spring since it's harder to find them through fall and winter.

    Something like this though they are cheaper at Wal-Mart.
